...Unlike expected GOP opponent Rudolph W. Giuliani, who has an obligation to his elected position as New York City mayor, Clinton has been inexcusably camouflaging her possible Senate bid with her unofficial role as the First Lady. Especially since her candidacy was never really in doubt--Westchester Rep. Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), the only other potential Democratic contender, dropped out months ago--the delay represents a lost chance for Clinton to appeal to voters still uneasy about the "carpetbagger" label. It doesn't help that the First Lady has not spent nearly enough time in New York--her Manhattan...
Hillary's next stop was the Grand Hyatt ballroom, where she was the star attraction at a fund raiser for Congresswoman Nita Lowey, who patiently waits in the wings to run if the queen doesn't. Leaving aside the awkward body language (there was a lot of back patting as if each was trying to calm a colicky baby), here was Hillary in the red- hot center of Democrat Love, getting a warm but not ecstatic reception.

"How many people have to die before Congress can act?" demanded New York's Nita Lowey. Republicans are adamant that they will not be budged off their schedule. Isn't this how it all started...
Meanwhile Rangel has kept up his offensive. In January Hillary invited him to the White House after the State of the Union address. He brought New York Representative Nita Lowey, who has designs on the Democratic Senate nomination; she pledged to step aside if Hillary were to run. The next day Hillary and the President appeared before a throng of supporters in Buffalo, N.Y. In a neat reversal of their usual roles, Hillary kept Clinton waiting 15 minutes while she worked a rabid rope line. The next time Rangel and Hillary spoke, it was she who made the call. Last...
